Marketing wants a GUM base now, Planning wants to make dead for certain that Marketing is going to commit for longer than 12 months to that flying. They DO NOT want to establish a base only to have it dismantlement twelve months from now. The flying will probably happen soon, when they pull the trigger on the base is anyone's guess. They just have to believe that the flying will be there long term to do it.

It is to be 10% of the 73N fleet. (10 Jets from what I am told)
